$780 for the laptop (back to school sale) $90 for the mouse $40 each for the external drives $20 for the USB hub $20 for the laptop cooler Total: $1010

Which fan type are you? I'm a born and raised Trekkie... Also, Firefly was essentially becoming the successor to Star Trek, and I didn't miss a single episode of it's original airing... A couple Trek facts: James Doohan (Scotty) got peppered with MG42 bullets on Omaha Beach, and lost his right ring finger to one of them. Gene Roddenberry was a B-17 pilot... His uniform is on display at the Pueblo Aerospace Museum.

They have a design for a nearly self-sustaining lunar base... They designed some of it off of the Heinlein books, and most of the rest off of stuff in Ben Bova's books... They just need new shuttles to get the parts and supplies up there.

We have so much in common...

It wasn't that big... Under 300px tall is a good size IMO. (I just haven't used any GFX in my sigs for a while, or I'd have something cool in mine)

You got your Mom's b-day, I got born on Mother's Day... lol

All it takes is one actual troll post, and my rep is fixed... Metallica - Holier Than Thou

All you'd see in a picture of mine is a bunch of wires leading to a USB hub, an external HDD, external DVD burner, and a laptop sitting on it's cooler... Better would be posting the details of the computers and their peripherals... For example: Dell 1558 Laptop Intel i5-450m processor 6GB 1333 DDR3 RAM at 7-7-7-20 timing 500GB Seagate Momentus 7200RPM 1TB ESATAII HDD (Hitachi Deskstar HDD in enclosure) Radeon Mobility 5470 with 2GB dedicated GDDR5 RAM 1366x768x60 max monitor settings Logitech G700 Gaming Mouse Rosewill external keypad ASUS external DVD burner Much more informative of the capabilities of the system, don't you think?

A lot of decent games look like crap gameplay in those videos, but are extremely fun when played. Most of the rest look like it's the best game ever, but when actually played, sucks... Demos on the other hand have been known to run on entirely separate game engines, and in some rare cases, not have anything in the demo that is in the game apart from textures and credits. Now if every demo was like the Quake 2 demo, where it was 3 levels straight out of the game, without any changes to the map/enemies/gameplay/etc, (additional weapons were placed) then I would agree with you on that point.

I guess I'll have to give it a try to really find out for sure if I can stand it... And yes, GoW1 had the second-person when aiming...

Just torrented NFS Carbon... Why did they remove widescreen support from it? (excellent gameplay though IMO)

As soon as they make a movie of it... Until then, just SW v ST.

Yeah, but each campaign is an entire game unto itself... Kinda like all the Blizzard expansions...

Try switching them to PNGs first... Sometimes helps... What program are you using to make/edit them? (I can get max quality 100x100 jpegs down to below 30KB)

You just got yourself +rep... You ever notice that God looks sorta like Charlton Heston?

I don't see any conflict in him using me as an "ugly" example... Kinda funny IMO...

You need to. Get a torrent of it and say you borrowed it from me... Or you could get the demo then keygen it. That's pretty much how I get every computer game. WINGS OF LIBERTY FTW. Didn't know Halo 1 upgraded like that. SC2 is awesome isn't it?

Ok, now I have to make a Star Wars vs Star Trek thread...

Same... Try reformatting them to 256 color gifs, and see if any of them look good...

Ooooo... That'd be cool... That's my new life goal.

You shoulda said BTGbullseye instead of phunmaster, that way nobody'd be harping on you for being offensive...

You need to. Get a torrent of it and say you borrowed it from me...

Can't go wrong with the G-Series Logitech mice... They hands down are the best out there... Just a tip, don't ever get anything by Razer, it'll just be ultra-cheap quality Chinese made crap that you'll pay more for...

WTF?!? WoK is easily the best movie ever! (the new ST takes a close second) I have the DVD of the new one, I can torrent you a copy if you want... (private torrent between just you and me)

You all keep falling back on God... It isn't possible that some alien species seeded us here?
